Alex Colome

Alex Colome had his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Colome has a 2.25 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 7.88 K/9 ratio in eight games with Triple-A Charlotte. The 34-year-old veteran will likely work in middle relief and will likely not carry any fantasy value.

The Washington Nationals have signed relief pitcher Alex Colome to a minor-league deal.

Fantasy Impact

To little surprise, Colome also received an invite to MLB camp. Colome spent the 2022 season with the Rockies but stumbled to a 5.74 ERA and 14.9% K% across 53 appearances and 47 innings of work. After dominating to the tune of a 0.81 ERA/2.97 FIP with 12 saves in the shortened 2020 season with the White Sox, Colome has fallen below his standard in each of the last two seasons. The 34-year-old should be able to lock down a featured role in a suspect Nationals bullpen out of camp.

Alex Colome pitched 1/3 of an inning, allowing two hits, one walk, and one earned run Friday. He struck out on Reds’ batter and tallied his seventh loss of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Colome has a 4.74 ERA, .293 BAA, and a 1.58 K/BB ratio in 48 games this season. The 33-year-old has struggled over his last seven games. He has a 18.69 ERA in 4 1/3 innings pitched during that span. Fantasy managers are best leaving Colome on the waiver wire.

Alex Colome allowed just one hit in a scoreless ninth inning of Thursday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Colome is on fire out of the pen, as he has not allowed an earned run in his last 13 appearances. He likely won't slide into the closer role anytime soon with Daniel Bard there, but he has been very solid for Colorado as of late.

Colorado Rockies RP Alex Colome pitched one inning of relief on Saturday, striking out one, walking one, and allowing two hits for two earned runs in the Rockies 3-2 win over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

Colome picked up the save on Saturday in the second game of the back-to-back but it was close to being a blown save as he entered the game with a three run lead and came out with a one run win. The relieving pitcher's ERA rose to 6.35 due to the near blow save and it may be best to approach him with caution after this brutal performance for what was only his second save of the season.
